SEXTON HOME
Farm folk In Clay couaty were made happy thto week, when heavy rains eame to drown out the chinch bng. A storm that laated tor mora than an hour on Saturday vtolted thto neck of tbe woods, aad agata oa Sunday at noon a heavy rain-tali, that at timaa aaaumed the prppor- tleoa of a etondbnnt.'teame. Snndny avaning saw gnether hour of heavy rnlh. Approalmately two Inches of lAln fell ta twenty-four hours, bring¬ tag relief to the tarmen who had be¬ gan to fear the chtaeh bugs wonld utterly destroy the growing corn.
Doctor B. C. Brrich. of St. Lonia. who, witb his wife and yonng soO; attempted to drive over the Midland Trail, on their way to Ctaelnnati gava up the idea on reaehlng Flora, attar going over the stretch of road from luka to Flora.
Several times Dr. Brrich found himseif in the middle of a mudhole. and only after many trial wa. he able to continue. At VtOta he was advised of the condition of the road through the Clay City bottoms bv antoiata who had come throngh thera, and he decided to ship hn ear baek to St. Louto, and finish the Jouraey to Cincinnati by rail.
Dr. Brrich said he had been toM by an Information bureau at St. Lon¬ to that tbe Trail was good with the exception ot a bad spot between Clay City and Noble. In tdlkihg of the roads to Flora, he sald.-^~    -
"I believe the inform|tlea bureau at St. Louto to misiafonind as to the MAOrai condition of the MidUnd TrnH. We left St. Louto thto morn¬ ing, and, with the exdeption of one or two spots near Carlyle, we had good roads. Not uatli we passed luka did we encounter rough going, and when we arrived, at Xeuia, reads got wone. When we came to Flora, we heid a consultation and it waa decid¬ ed that we« abould not attempt the trip tbrough tbe Clay Ctty bottoma, but ship the car bome, and continue to Cincinnati vU rati. And now. it you will loan ma enough twtae, I'll tie up our hundlea. and we will be gone on the midnight train.' '
Such is tbe life of roving automo- blllaU.
